• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problems with: Detecting if a user clicked on a 3D object

  I'm rather new at working in 3d at this level but not exactly new to C# and definitely not new to 3D models... but I usually work with a tool such as Blender, 3DS or Maya. I have my simple mesh object and it displays just fine. When I use the sample code as a guide, I find that I need to make my own Bounding Box... and I understand the process in theory but applying it to the code is giving me fits. **************** Issue1: Using a Bounding Box with the dimentions of triangleBB in the sample causes this: Nullable < float > result = pickRay . Intersects(triangleBB); // Returns NaN regardless of where clicked. That's my shorthand... pasted code with what it results in after the comment.... Question... so why ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Can a managed DirectX app keep running if a DirectX problem would normally crash an unmanaged game?

  We have probably all seen DirectX games crash, usually due to driver issues, or bugs in a particular game (where you may find a patch to fix them later, or update your drivers, and the problem doesn't happen any more) -- and they either drop you on your desktop or cause the PC to restart. Usually the games also lose whatever changed in the game since your last save as well.. In either of these cases, if the game were written in .NET, using managed DirectX, and caused exactly the same problem.. would it simply be treated as an exception, and the game could recover (assuming you programmed it that way), or would it crash just like an unmanaged game If it's possible for it to recover, it could re-initialize everything related to DirectX, o ...Show All

  Using BIDS, and trying to deploy to a newly created reporting server. I can deploy the report but cannot figure out how to display it in the WSS 3.0 teamsite. My document library settings allow 'new report builder report' and 'new report datasource' but I don't see how to upload reports built in BIDS for use in the Sharepoint site.

• Visual Studio Printing Issues

  Hello, I’ve been having this issue for a couple of weeks now and have tried countless ways to find a work around without much luck. Long story short, I’m writing an application with Visual Studio 2005 Professional using J#, the application has a user enter data such as name, address, phone, etc and then a Submit Button. I want to print a form with this data, and I have created a separate form that gets populated with this information and is sized to fit an 81/2 x 11 piece of paper. The print solutions that I’ve found in the Help section and on these forums have a lot of flaws for what I’m trying to accomplish. The answer I’ve found is to do the screen capture – and that works some times, the problem is, the form doesn’t comple ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Application level addin

  There has been a lot of talk about not being able to create an application level addin using VSTO 2.0 I have created something that kind of mimics it. Let me explain 1. Create a VSTO solution, call it VSTO_Addin.xls 2. Add code in workbook_open event to add custom menus 3. Now attach routines to the custom menus which does manipulation using Activeworkbook, Activesheet so on .. for ex - To display the name of the active workbook, messagebox.show (Globals.thisworkbook.application.activeworkbook.name), kindof get the drift 4. Set the thisworkbook.addin property to true for VSTO_Addin.xls Run Excel, open VSTO_Addin.xls, since the addin = true this workbook will not be visible but the custom menus are!!

• Visual Studio MSBuild + ProjectReference + tmp_xxx files?

  Hi! The problem: The same solution builds successfully in Visual Studio, but fails to build in MSBuild... The solution contains ~18 .vcproj files. In the solution, there are project-to-project references. When MSBuild runs, it generates temporary files, like XXX_tmp_Release_Win32.vcproj (what for, BTW ), where some of those project-to-project dependencies are just missing ! So, the resulting project just fails to link... Am I missing something Kind regards. Comments are greatly appreciated :) ...Show All
